Mpopoma rocks Pumula, Ajax Hotspurs rocks East Rovers, Mpopoma Pirates rolls over Toronto F.C as the Pumula East Grounds turns into ugly scenes as fans invade the pitch to assault the hapless Ajax Hotspurs youngstars leading to the abandonment of an otherwise entertaining match with Ajax Hotspurs leading 2-1 Prince "Mpinju" Hlabangane grabbing a priceless brace.
What started as an entertaining match ended in nightmare for Mpopoma based outfit Ajax Hotspurs youngstars who were pummelled to submission by the Pumula East supporters who could nit stomach the imminent defeat as their two players received red cards for oof-theball incident and roughplay. The East boys were outshone, outplayed, outfought and stunned by this young Ajax Hotspurs side who took the lead as early as the second minute withHlabangane showing his skill and techniques leaving an East Rovers player for dead with some fancy footwork before taking a well placed ball that beat former Falakhe goalkeeper all systems out. East Rovers tried in vainr to come into the game but found the Ajax Rearguard in no compromising mood.
Hlabangane was back to haunt East Rovers when he immaculately combined with strike partner Kingsley Best to place his shot wide to the right only for the keeper to fumble the ball across the line 2-0 to Ajax Hotspurs. East Rovers did pull a goal back in the 75th minute in a goalmouth scramble but were hardly done buy indescipline when one of their players kicked Maxwell Mburayi off the ball infront of the gazing eyes of the referee. He was shown a straight red-card when his side were in quest of an elusive eaqualiser.
With five minutes left on the clock, frustration reached a boiling point in the East Rovers camp and one player went flying into the chest of Ajax Hotspurs youngstar Jeffrey Jengwa and the referee once again reached to his back pocket to flash a red card and all hell broke loose. the player woke-up and grabbed the Hotspurs goalminder Thabani Ndlovu and a "swam" of supporters invaded the pitch flooring Ndlovu in the process and kicking him all over the body and was saved by Willard " Mashinkila" Khumalo the newly appointed East Rovers coach, yours trully and the Ajax Captain Mburayi who was also hit by the unruly hooligans in the process. After a 30minute stoppage the referee had no option but to abandon the match. What an ugly way to end such a beautiful match.
